Today, my friends older brother died along with another boy today in a car accident. Im friends with B and T. B and T are cousins and T is in Florida right now. He is there until next Saturday and this is the first time they've been there. I got a call from my other friend, J, who said I should go on on a local tv website and look for myself. I read that and broke down. Im not sure how becuase I could not read the rest. I just say pronounced dead at the scene. Right now I am just so scared and did not tell my family I found that out yet.

I just dont know what to do.



I think it would be better not to use full names. Letters are the peoples first letter.

[birdman94]

that is truely sad also i think you should tell your parents you know

 

[mom2cookies]

yes definitely tell your parents. And many hugs to you... it is a traumatic thing to go through something like this. Don't be afraid to talk to your friend either. Don't worry about saying the right thing, just being there whether you talk or not will be important.

My parents talked to me this morning about it.


I dont have any updates yet.

 

[4fosterkids]

So sorry to read your news!
That is very sad and tough to deal with. I'm glad you told your parents. They will be able to help you deal with it and understand anything you may struggle with too. There will be tough days ahead too, I'm sure, for everybody involved.
Hopefully you can surround yourself with support and try to be there for your friends and their families too.

I'm so sorry to hear this. It's so sad to lose someone when they are young.
But it is ok to continue to think about them. I lost several friends when I was a teenager and many years later I still think about them and remember the good times we had.

Your friend and his family are hurting just as much as you right now. You friend might want to talk about it or his might not. You have to be understanding and let him grieve at this time. Either way I'm sure his is glad you are there for him.

I will post the updates given by the family of the boy still alive. I am going to remove some information that gives away Exact location

Update on the 25th


On Friday November 23, 2007, Aaron Prom was involved in a horrible car accident. He was taken by Flight for Life to -removed- Hospital. We were notified of the accident and worked our way to the hospital. Upon arrival we were told Aaron was in the trauma unit. The waiting was the hardest part. We arrived at 4:30 p.m. and finally got to see Aaron around 10:30 p.m. for a brief moment. That moment stopped time. His face received the brunt of the impact. Seeing the lacerations, his very distorted features from swelling due to his injuries, tubes everywhere, people trying to stabilize his vitals. With all that said we could not have had a better experience with the doctor's and staff. Now with that said I realize how forunate we are to be in the best facility in Wisconsin.
Aaron has a broken femur on his right leg, spleen and kidney lacerations which look good right now but his face has many broken bones, nose, cheeks, eye orbits, both upper and lower jaw, which will have to be repaired in time. His C-4 has been fractured causing a break in his cartoid artery. Which has formed a clot. The risk of the clot moving has them hesitated to move on.
So now we have to pray and wait. Aaron is lucky to have such wonderful family and friends who will pull him through this. I cannot express my surprise at such out pourings. My heavy heart has been lightened by such show of emotions. God bless everyone and please feel free to stop by anytime, Aarons door is always open.
Our heart felt prayers go out to the -names removed-

-removed-and especially Aaron want to Thank Everyone in the -removed- and surrounding communities for all of their support. Unfortunately due to staffing changes the amount of visitors is going to be monitored more closely. Everyone is welcome to send well wishes via this website or come and visit -removed- at the family center, but the amount of visitors that will be able to see Aaron will be limited, if at all. Thank you to everyone and may God bless all of you and your families.

Another post on the 26th


Aaron went into surgery on his right femur this morning at around 7:55 a.m. The surgery lasted about 2-3 hours and everything went really well. The doctor was amazed at Aaron's bones, he said he was like "Superman". The doctor broke 3 drill bits trying to put the metal rod in. They also took the brain monitor out. So he doesn't look like a martian anymore.

Update on the 28th


Yesterday was a good day!!!! The hospital started reducing the coma induced medication. Last night -removed- and her boyfried -removed- were reading Aaron your well wishes and he started responding. He would lift his head and legs and move his head toward the direction of us calling his name out loud. This was very encouraging, but he still cannot respond to the commands the nurses have asked. Such as raise your right thumb, etc. Today is going to be a day of rest for Aaron as they do not have anything scheduled for surgery. Keep sending your well wishes because they are making a difference. We print them out and read them to him daily. Thanks for all of your support and God Bless.

Aaron,
I know you have a long road ahead of you, but just know that the progress you are making are actually HUGE steps As Taz can tell you, I just went through all of this with my Mom who fell, had severe head injuries which required immediate surgery, was in a coma and on a breathing machine for 2 weeks, acquired the MRSA (Super Bug) staph infection in her lungs, and the Dr told us she would NEVER make it through the surgery!! I went in 4 - 6 times a day, for 3 weeks, and would talk to her everyday and now she is in a rehabilitation hospital doing very well and you would never know that her initial prognosis was *grim*

As a young man, you have so much of life ahead of you that *I* know that through family, friends, and friends of friends who are ALL sending prayers, , and to watch over you, you will be up and about sooner then you think. Find whatever inner strength you can, draw upon it, and just take everyday as it comes. Finally, remember that you will have some days that are good and others that are not, but when you look back you will see that you have had more good than bad

You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and am sending lots of a few to watch over you and a for doing so well already

and
Lyn
